LISTEN TO THE PODCAST HERE

Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Mobile Technology Show with host Len Egan. In episode #1, we hear about Len’s background in Mobile Technology and what he plans for future shows.

Len discusses all the hullabaloo surrounding The Origami Project, apparently a campaign by Microsoft to introduce Ultra portable Mobile Devices that will allow the user to carry them with him or her at all times. Len looks at the various takes from various bloggers as well as the transcript from Bill Gates’ announcement of these “lifestyle computers” a year ago.

Next Len takes a look at the big Apple press conference from March 1 and how disappointing it was for most Apple enthusiasts. The discussion surrounds the three Apple announcements: The new Mac Mini, iPOD HiFi, and the iPOD leather case.

The discussion moves to the Axia 308 Pocket PC Phone, billed as the “Worlds Smallest Pocket PC Phone” running Windows Mobile 5. The phone sports quadband GSM/GPRS with EDGE, 802.11b Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 1.2, Windows Mobile 5, 1.3MP camera with flash, a full keypad, and a 2.2″ 262K-color QVGA touchscreen.

Lastly, Len talks about the recent release of Skype 2.0 for Pocket PC. He has downloaded the application and taken it for a spin on his Treo 700W. How does it sound? Find out during the show.
